MOQ & Lead Time
Eliminate pre-inquiry uncertainties with transparent MOQ requirements and accurate lead times for all our ASTM F136 titanium piercing jewelry products.
MOQ Overview
Clear minimum order quantities by order type. We define MOQ by item and size to keep planning predictable.
Ready Stock MOQ
Per item/size for in-stock inventory. You may mix different sizes and styles to meet minimums, subject to availability.
- Standard sizes available
- Popular threadless & threaded styles
- Typically ships within 3 business days
OEM MOQ
Per item/size for existing designs with your branding, packaging, labeling, or minor modifications.
- Custom packaging & labeling
- Logo engraving available
- Minor size / finish adjustments possible
ODM MOQ
Per item/size for fully custom designs, new tooling, or structural modifications requiring engineering development.
- Custom design development
- Tooling & fixtures may apply
- Options for exclusivity
How We Define “Item” and “Size”
MOQ is typically calculated per item and size. “Size” usually includes gauge plus length/diameter. Different threading systems and coatings may be treated as separate items depending on process requirements.
Mixing Rules (Practical Guidance)
- Ready stock: mixing across styles and sizes is generally allowed (subject to availability).
- OEM/ODM: mixing may be possible by agreement, depending on tooling, finish, and packaging constraints.
- For the fastest confirmation, attach your spec checklist or drawings in the RFQ form.
Production Lead Time
Accurate timelines from engineering confirmation to dispatch—built for predictable planning.
Lead Time Formula
Lead time typically equals: Engineering confirmation + Sample + Approval + Production + QC + Dispatch.
To Confirm Timeline Accurately
- Thread type (threadless / internal / external) + gauge
- Length/diameter range and target market (US/EU, etc.)
- Finish/color (polish / matte / PVD) + packaging requirements
- Quantity by item/size + desired dispatch date
Sample Lead Time
Note: Sample approval is required before mass production. Additional iteration time depends on revision scope (typically +5–10 days).
Mass Production Lead Time
Rush orders: expedite fees may apply (typically +20–30%), subject to capacity and process constraints.
Complete Project Timeline

Deliverables: samples + notes / inspection details (if requested)
Sample Approval & PO
Customer review & confirmation
Deliverables: confirmed spec + production schedule
Mass Production
Typical: 3–60 days (based on order type)
Deliverables: in-process QC + final QC before dispatch
QC, Packing & Dispatch
Typical: 2–3 days for final inspection & shipment prep
Deliverables: packing list + tracking after dispatch
Important Notes & Variables
Key factors that may affect MOQ requirements and lead times for your specific project.
MOQ Variables
Size Variations
Each gauge/length/diameter combination may count as a separate size (e.g., 16G/8mm vs 16G/10mm).
Threading Types
Threadless vs internal/external threading may require different tooling and QC steps.
Surface Treatments
PVD/anodizing/special finishes may increase MOQ or add processing time.
Packaging Options
Custom packaging, labeling, barcode/batch rules may affect minimum quantities.
Lead Time Variables
Order Quantity
Larger orders may require additional time, but typically improve unit pricing.
Seasonal Demand
Peak season may extend lead times (typically +1–2 weeks). Confirm schedule early for Q4 launches.
Material Availability
Standard ASTM F136 sizes are typically available; special diameters may require additional sourcing time.
Complexity Level
Multi-component assemblies and intricate designs require more machining, finishing, and QC.
Production Start & Shipping Time
Production typically begins after sample approval and deposit (terms may vary by order type and customer profile). Lead times are counted from deposit receipt and confirmed production start date. Shipping time (typically 3–7 days via DHL/FedEx) is additional to production lead time.
